Assessment of tesla turbine performance for small scale rankine combined heat and power systems / Van P. Carey in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power, Vol. 132 N° 12 (Décembre 2010)

Titre : Assessment of tesla turbine performance for small scale rankine combined heat and power systems Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Van P. Carey, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : 08 p. Note générale : Génie Mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Building  Rotors  Solar  power  Turbines Index. décimale : 620.1 Essais des matériaux. Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : For solar Rankine cycle combined heat and power systems for residential buildings and other small-scale applications (producing 1–10 kWe), a low manufacturing cost, robust, and durable expander is especially attractive. The Tesla-type turbine design has these desired features. This paper summarizes a theoretical exploration of the performance of a Tesla turbine as the expander in a small-scale Rankine cycle combined heat and power system. A one-dimensional idealized model of momentum transfer in the turbine rotor is presented, which can be used to predict the efficiency of the turbine for typical conditions in these systems. The model adopts a nondimensional formulation that identifies the dimensionless parameters that dictate performance features of the turbine. The model is shown to agree well with experimental performance data obtained in earlier tests of prototype Tesla turbine units. The model is used to explore the performance of this type of turbine for Rankine cycle applications using water as a working fluid. The model indicates that isentropic efficiencies above 0.75 can be achieved if the operating conditions are tailored in an optimal way. The scalability of the turbine design, and the impact of the theoretical model predictions on the development of solar combined heat and power systems are also discussed.

A Thermodynamic similarity framework for assessment of working fluids for solar Rankine power generation / Deborah A. Sunter in Transactions of the ASME. Journal of solar energy engineering, Vol. 132 N° 4 (Novembre 2010)

Sunter, Auteur ; Van P. Carey, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. [041005/1-8] Note générale : Energie Solaire Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Solar  Rankine  Working  fluid  Thermodynamic  similitude Index. décimale : 621.47 Résumé : Numerous studies have compared the merits of different working fluids for use in Rankine power systems. Most often, however, these have considered a limited number of specific fluids for which the thermodynamic properties are known. In the investigation summarized here, the Redlich–Kwong fluid model was used to develop a thermodynamic similarity framework that can be used as a comparative model for evaluating the performance of Rankine cycle working fluids. This can be viewed as a reduced order model that, based on thermodynamic similarity, quantifies the characteristics of the working fluids in terms of a single dimensional coordinate space defined by the choice of critical temperature. The advantage of this framework is that it allows exploration of the performance advantages of working fluids for which full thermodynamic properties are not yet available. Predictions of the model for common fluids were examined and conclusions regarding optimal fluids for solar Rankine systems are discussed.
